Data Sharing

OUCRU recognizes the ethical obligation to ensure that optimal use is made of the data and specimens that we collect for our research and the value of sharing individual level data. We aim to ensure that data generated from all our research are collected, curated, managed and shared in a way that maximizes their benefit. When sharing data we have an obligation to ensure that the interests of research participants, researchers and other stakeholders are appropriately protected.

@BrowettHeather: 1. Don't overlook the role of trust - its critical to being able to work effectively with government and researchers. But it also isn't guaranteed - trust can only be built together. As funders, our timescales for change must recognise this.
